Twenty Francs 2023 Wind Power, Coin from Switzerland
CoinTwenty Francs 2023 Wind Power

The Twenty Francs coin is a denomination of the Swiss Franc. Given that Switzerland has four official languages, the Franc has three different names: Franken in German, franc in French and Romansh, and franco in Italian.

In regular circulation, the denomination is served by a banknote. These coins are non-circulating legal tender made for collectors. They are issued in topical series, celebrating various aspects of Swiss heritage or nature.

The edge is usually inscribed with the motto DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT (The Lord will provide - a quote from the Bible, Genesis 22, 8), and thirteen stars representing the original thirteen cantons of the Swiss Federation.

This commemorative coin is dedicated to Wind Power (in German: Windenergie), and is the third and final release in a mini series called Energy of the Future.

Swissmint says about it:
Alongside hydropower and solar energy, wind power is becoming the third pillar of Switzerland's energy supply: wind energy bridges the gap created by lower hydroelectric and solar energy production in winter. This is because wind power generates two thirds of its total production in winter. The combination of wind, solar and hydropower means we can all receive Swiss-sourced carbon-free electricity.
